Downloading app causes storeagent process to consume 100% of a CPU core

This has happened twice now. Just downloaded Xcode 4.0.2 through the Mac App Store. This is a 4.59 GB download that took more than ten minutes. About 15% into the download, the storeagent process pegged a CPU core, and remained that way for the rest of the download. The CPU temperature shot up and the fans were going full blast. This must be an app store defect; there is no reason for any additional processing while the file is just downloading. Has anybody else experience this problem? I don't think you would notice it for a typical size application, but it should be obvious once you get over 1 GB.

I'm certian this is related to the speed of the connection (On the fly decryption, whatever...) as I'm sat on 1Gb link with zero contention and it (storeagent) makes my machine completely unuseable as all the cores are basically pegged to 100%.

Some Oracle processes are consuming 100% CPU

Hi,
Some of my oracle processes are consuming most amount of cpu continuously.What are the general steps to sort out this problem.I think the query is a tuned one.

Hi,
What is your veriosn of Oracle? what is the OS? which oracle process is consuming 100% CPU? how did u find out it is conuming?
and you have mentiond query is tuned one... it does your query is taking time to execute?
there is no clarity in your question...

Java Process Consuming 100% of Server CPU

Hi,
We have a new instance of CQ5 (version 5.4) running on a Windows 2003 SP2 Server. For some reason, which we can't determine, after a period of time a Java process on the system begins to consume 100% of the CPU and the system becomes totally unresponsive. Has anyone seen this before? Is there a fix for this?
RK

Does the it eventually recover on it's own? It's possible that the JVM is doing full garbage collection. How big is your max heap size? I suggest to add some garbage collection debugging in the JVM_OPTS to see if it is Java's garbage collection or not. Might as well check the heap too, to see if it's running our of memory.
Example;
-verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution -Xloggc:/tmp/gc.log -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=/tmp

MobileDeviceHelper running @ 100% on one CPU Core

Hi, anyone suggest anything to fix one of my CPU cores runs MobileDeviceHelper (32Bit) at 100% consistently after iTunes is started.
The machine is a new build with Windows 8 64bit all updates and patches applied. All latest manufacturer chipset and other relevant drivers and every other part of the machine works perfectly. If I end the process, distnoted (32 bit) then replaces it and takes over with another core running at 100%. Ending that process and mobiledevicehelper comes back at one core 100% usage, then ending that and it behaves.
I have tried restarting the machine, installing updates, disabling the task in task manager, resetting the network adapter (winsock reset) and disabling ApplePush, and itunes helper at startup but am out of ideas now! I haven't even sync'd my phone to it yet.
Im fast thinking iTunes seems to be getting more buggy each release (I haven't been able to burn an audio cd on the new machine as it crashes while attempting to, but other software can burn the same playlist and file after dragging out of the iTunes playlist) yet iTunes on my Macbook runs fine!

oh and its iTunes 12.1.1.4 64Bit with Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit all latest updates.
As a workaround I have found the two files, renamed them so iTunes cant call them and everything still works fine which begs the questions what are they doing that uses 100% of one CPU core! I haven't setup my iPhone as a remote, or my AppleTVs yet, hoping they don't rely on these services!

Process 'rastertobrother5240' consuming 100% CPU

Hello,
For the past 2 days, a printer process named 'rastertobrother5240' has been starting up intermittently (~4 times a day) and consuming 100% of CPU time. I guess this started happening after I applied a recent printer update. Has anybody faced a similar issue?
Thanks,
Kshitij

I assume you are using a Brother printer. Open Activity Monitor, locate the process and select it then click on the Quit icon in the toolbar and click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. Now open Print & Fax preferences and CTRL- or RIGHT-click in the printer list on the left, then select Reset Printing System from the contextual menu. If you have not installed the Brother printer driver update from Apple then download it here.
Now do the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Install the printer package update. If you installed it already then reinstall it. Now re-Add your printer and see if everything is OK. If it isn't then you may be having a problem with the Brother software for your printer. Check Brother's site for any updated software and/or contact their tech support for additional help.

One boe_jobcd process allways consuming 100% CPU

Hi, I am running Crystal reports server XI R2 Linux on RHEL4
Normally we have from 1 up to 4 boe_jobcd processes depending on the "load" of our system, The processes seems to shutdown when not needed, But now one of the 4 BOE_JOBCD processes will never die and it is consuming 100% cpu...
Can I stop/kill the process? How ?

Dear Both,
I traced the RAS server as suggested by Tim and obtained a log that - I have to admit - is quite difficult for me to understand. Could I send it to one of you for examination? Thanks in advance.
Ted, please find below my answers to your questions:
Just to close out possible data source issues, are the reports going against Business Views or Universes?
The report is based on Business Views.
Do you have Processing Extensions specified for the reports?
Sorry but what are Processing Extensions?
Also, when you checked in the Crystal Reports Designer, was it Designer installed on the same machine where the page server and RAS server is running?
Yes, it is installed on the same machine.
Also, since it affects both Page Server and RAS, it may require CRPE traces to get to the bottom of this (CRPE - 'creepy' - is the CR engine used by both the Page and RAS server).
I will certainly open a case with SAP to have them help me on that.
Thank you both for your help. It is very appreciated.

Mail consumes 100% of my CPU power

Thats at least my theory. Activity viewer shows that something called osascript takes 48% of the CPU and kernel_tasks takes the rest. system together ends up between 90-100% of the CPU. When I look for parent processes for osascript I end up in kernel_taskes so I think the osa is responsibel for the hole ting. When I start up maill.app it looks like osascript starts up.
This is a crosspost because I think this now is a mail problem. But I realy dont know.

You could either use Software Update in the System Preferences, or you could download the 10.4.7 Combo Update from the Downloads page. You should use Software Update though, if possible, since there could be other system updates that you're missing.

In the Newbie Corner of the forums, there are a few stickied threads that are recommended reads. One of which is this one.
If the logs are not too too much, then it can be posted here with code tags. If it is crazy big, pastebin it and then post the link.
If this is really all the information it gives about the journal being nuts, then you might want to enable debug levels of logging for the journal and then see if you can gather more information that way. This can either by done by using a drop-in snippet to the unit file, or by turning on debug levels for the entire system from the kernel command line.
The journal is not designed in such a way that it can be continously written to. There are safeguards in place to ensure that masively spamming services are cut off after a certain number of log messages in a given timeframe. Additionally, even the flush from the journal in RAM to the disk is only done periodically.

Today, I was able to open the older version of the template if I only viewed the code first. So I was able to narrow it down to one change I had made. I had changed:
<link href="/css/960grid.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
to:
<link href="http://mydomain.com/css/960grid.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
When I tried to save the document, Dreamweaver hanged. The document opened fine with all of the other changes I had made, although it couldn't find the CSS files (I had moved the site to another root locally).
This really looks like a bug in Dreamweaver to me. I've seen CSS links like this in other people's websites, so it does look like valid CSS to me. Is there a workaround for this?

System Process - 'Locum' consumes all of my CPU processing Power!

Hi,
This issue has been raised before and archived. I am having the same issues, emptying Trash takes forever, and working on my MBP is next to impossible as there is a time delay of a couple of seconds between typing on the keyboard and the letters appearing on screen! The computer has slowed down so much that I cannot work on it. Have tried rebooting - can I just force quit the 'LOCUM'.
Any help will be most gratefully received.

First things first
Emergency backup procedure
Drag and drop copy your users file folders (music, pictures, documents etc) to a regular external powered drive as soon as possible.
Do not use, setup or trust only TimeMachine at this troubled time as it will copy corrupted data and we need just your users files safe just in case. TimeMachine cannot be used with a Windows PC.
Unmount and Disconnect all external drives once the backup process is completed.
Note:
If you have any over 4GB sized files, those won't copy to a standard formatted FAT32/MSDOS drive from the factory, if you need to save these 4GB+ files use another blank/empty drive and use Disk Utility to format it 1 Partition, Option: GUID, Format: OS X Extended Journaled (or the standard default one for older Mac's).
Mac's cannot copy to nor format a NTFS drive. ExFAT format to be used with a Windows machine must be right click formatted by Windows, not OS X (does it wrong) XP macines can install a free exFAT update from Microsoft. Vista-Win 8 can format exFAT.
Formatting a drive will erase all data on it.
Next you can do this for us

Forcing processes / JVM to run on specific CPU / Cores seamlessly

I'm running 4 different performance sensitive applications on a 2 CPU / quad-core 3GHz HP with solaris x86.
3 applications are java, 1 is C.
I'd like to force each of them to run on a specific (and different each time) CPU or core.
I've read about prstat / prset / pbind, however I find it quite inconvenient to use.
I'd like to add something to my start scripts so that they seamlessly always start on a different cpu / core...
any idea / link ?
thanks

Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? When did it start to be slow? Did you change anything just before it started? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

Opening VI and consuming 100% CPU power

I am trying to debug my VI. The first few times the VI ran well but suddenly the VI hang up. I have no choice but to end the LabView process using the Task Manager. When I try to restart this VI again, it fails to open and the Task Manager indicates that the LabView program is now consuming 100% of the CPU time but still fail to open this VI. Looks like it is entering into an infinite loop. I cannot fix anything for I cannot go into my VI to change anything. LabView just consumes all the CPU power and do nothing. What went wrong?
Regards,
Larry

Okay. That is very strange. I am seeing the same behavior. (I have LV 8.2)
When I first downloaded the VI, it opened just fine. If I did a saveas, closed the VI, and reopened the copy, I got 99% CPU usage. I reopened the one from the message, no problem. I left that one open and tried opening the one I had saved. It said I already had one in memory by that name do I want to view the one in memory or replace? I said replace. When it opened to the block diagram, everything was okay. But when I clicked on the window to view the front panel, that is when the CPU usage jumped up again.
So somehow the problem is associated with the FP. Nothing looks particular wrong about your code. The question is how did you manage to get a copy of the file that isn't causing problems when you open it?
I think you will want to recreate the VI from scratch. You are able to view a copy to see whay you have which is good. And it doesn't look too complicated.
What is interesting is that if I delete everything from the VI's block diagram (leaving nothing apparent on the FP), save, close, reopen, I still get the extreme CPU Usage. It seems confined to LV, as I am still able to switch over and working within the browser to answer this message.
